JUNEAU.

Fast mail service-A letter written and
mailed at Milton, Wis, August II, reach
ed the Juneau postoffice at $3.50 o'clock
August 81, after having reposed in the
GAINESVILLE, Wis, Office from the 18th to
the 31st, notwithstanding that the address
was so perfectly and plainly written that
a child could have read it correctly. NJ
merous complaints are also being made
that the mail from the north, which ought
to reach this Office at 10 A. NJ, is very
frequently carried by, returning here at
$3.50 PM. Thisis especially the case with
mail coming from Beaver Dam, and as
letters by this mail, if received in time,
could be answered the same day, the mis-
take is sometimes very annoying to cor
respondents.
Rev. John Tenuey, who for the past
three years has been the pastor of the
Presbyterian church here, is about to re-
sign his passionate for the purpose of re-
moving to his native state, Ohio 1t is
doubtful if any effort will in future be
made to fill the vacant pulpit, as the num-
Der of American families is constantly
growing smaller.
1t is reported from Beaver Dam that
surveyors are engaged in stalking out a
line for a railroad from either Lake Mills
or Waterloo to the former city, and it is
surmised that the road is to be built in
connection with the Illinois Central.
William Hambright, an early settler in
this state, died at his home in Beaver
Dam last Thursday, aged IS years. He
came to Racine from Pennsylvania in
1912, and in 1S49 he settled at Oak Grove,
in this county, where he continued to live
ill 1871, when he removed to Beaver
Dam. where six of his children reside He
was for sixteen years the postmaster at
Oak Grove. Among the ten children
who survive him is Mrs. Eugene Goeld-
ner, of WATERFOWL
On Thursday of this week Mr.. and
Mrs Mark Lowell of Hustisford, will cele-
brate their silver wedding. For the past
twenty-five years their hospitable house
has been the rendezvous for their numer-
Gus friends from juneau, Watertown,
Beaver Dam and other places, and no one
ever went there who was not welcomed
with open hearts and hands. Their friends
ore numbered by the hundreds, and all
will heartily JOIN in wishing them twenty
five more years of happiness and con
tentment.
Mr.. and Mrs. T. A. McCoIlow mourn
the loss of their little girl baby, months
old, who died quite suddenly on Saturday
noon. The funeral was held from the
Catholic church on Monday morning.
When it was learned last Friday that
DIR. Voorus had sold his practice back
again to DIR. Hallock, there was general
rejoicing, as the prospect Of the latter's
removal from here had caused very gen.
eral regret. W.

The virtual defeat of the Glenn chain
gang Educational bill, in the Georgia leg
islature, is explained. 1t had passed the
lower house with but two dissenting votes,
those of the two colored members. It
was then smothered in the senate. It has
transpired that an immense pressure was
brought to bear from Washington against
the proposed legislation. The admins
tration became alarmed at the indignant
protests from the North, and its interfer-
ence was fatal to the bill.

ARMoUR's BIG ELEVATOR IN CHICAGO

ARMoUR's BIG ELEVATOR IN CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, August 3l.-P. d. Armour is
building an elevator away up in Goose
island, close to the Milwaukee & St. Paul
railway tracks. It will accommodate easily
100000 bushels of grain, and that, ac-
cording to the projectors will be about as
much grain as the proprietors can have
under one roof. The elevator will be COM
pleted by Jan. and Mr., Armour said to-
day: "The elevator was found necessary
because the Milwaukee & St Paul road
needed more facilities for storing grain. A
road having 5000 miles of track handles
a good deal of grain.

the purpose of copying such of the records
as he needed in bis abstract office The
register finally tired of his presence, and
obtained an injunction, restraining him
from occupying the office for that purpose.
The injunction was afterwards dissolved

HENRY WILLARD AGAIN.-NEW YORK,
August 31-There were rumors all day
that Henry Willard was again interested
in the Oregon Transcontinental company
and that as the representative of Berlin

Oregon Transcontinental company and
foreign syndicate, headed by the Deutsche
bank of Berlin, in pursuance of which al
most the entire floating debt of the Ore

A we'll known Milwaukee law

A we'll known Milwaukee lawyer tells
a snake story, which, if not true, has at
least the exceptional merit of being new
and original. AS he was walking through
a meadow in his country home not long
since, he observed two snakes curled
around each other and leisurely sliding
along. Having a natural dislike for
snakes he picked up a stick and struck at
them, killing one The other crawled on
few steps, then rolled over on its back.
The action on its part attracted the law
yer's closer attention, and upon examina-
ton be found that it had no eyes. The
position in which he found them was then
explained, and the lawyer saw with regret
that its companion had evidently been
guarding it. He killed it also, and now
coufesses that his conscience pricked him
all day for the deed.

Feeding Work Horses in Winter.

1t is not a COOL plan to feed farm horses
rave little work to do. If put to labor, give
hem the usual feed; but when not at work
of the amount of grain given
Turing the busy season is enough. o.
course, they must have all the good stovpr
they wish. Horses do not need much grain
It this season; and if given it, they do not
lave brisk appetites FOR it in the spring,
md likely will soon refuse to eat the
mount of grain they need to keep them in
good condition at hard work. If, however,
he horses are fed almost altogether on
itover during the winter they Will not re-
fuse grain when put to work. Inaction is
HOre apt than the severest eXertion to pro.
nee Indigestion; and if the horses are fed
'tch food during the winter, they are more
Ipt to meet the spring in poor condition.
The necessary animal heat and fat can be
pade from stover. A mixture of straw,
lover, hay and corn fodder makes an ex-
llelt food for horses in winter. If any
rain is fed it may well b. corn, reserying
he oats till the work season. The horses
must lie fed as regu trly and as carefully in
winter as when they are at work. 1t will
lot do 10 give them heavy feeds one day,
when the weather is pleasant, and scant
'eds, later than usual in the morning and
arlier in the evening, the next day, be-
ause the weather is severe. AS for sailing,
he best plan is to keep salt in small com
artment in one corner Of the feed box. If
ne horses are fed and watered regularly.
,iven comfortable shelters, kept clean, sup.
lied with salt and given teaspoonful of
lean wood ashes in their feed every other
~, they will not need condition powders.

on IE7EREST 10 FARMERS.
Laying Ont Pleasure Grounds.

If one has large place to lay out and
plant, he calls in the services of an eXperic-
need landscape gardener, to whom he
entrusts, not only the general design, but
also the details of the planting With a
small piece it is different. The owner does
not think it worth while to consult an cx-
pert lust to lay out froht yard" lie
does the work himself, and as rule, 1t is
badly done. A small area is more difficult
to properly treat than large one. To
make the best of a forth or half an acre re-
quires ability of no mean order. Speaking
thus of its difficulties is not done to deter
owners from the attempt to beautify theil
small places, but to show that 1t is matter
worthy of careful thought and intelligent
study. One must have Imagination, and
be able to form an idea of the appearance
of his work at the end of twenty years or
more-whether it sltall grow up into a
jungle, or develop into work of art, in
creasng in beauty with each year.
Whether place is large or small, the
first step should be to make map of it as
it now is, marking every prominent feature;
then sketch in the proposed Improvements,
marking the paths, assigning every plant its
place.
Not path should be made unless it is
needed to enable one to go somewhere.
Those pretenders who call themselves
landscapes" appear to think the chief
end of their art is to cut up place with
all the curved walks and drives possible.
Every road and path must be kept in good
ORDER clear of weeds, and with firm sur
face. Recollcct that the making of path
is an implied promise that it will be pro
peIly kept, and make not foot more than
is necessary. Draw the plans to a scale.
and, when complete and satisfactory, work
from them to measure. Having decided
what trees, etc, will be needed, order them
well in advance of the time when they
can be planted, and when received keep
them in a sheltered place.
